Prince Albert of Monaco

He's been with his girlfriend Charlene Wittstock for what seems
like forever

Is it true love, or just a way of deflecting the rumours of a
break-up?

At the ATP tournament, voices were abuzz. Sure,
there was Rafael Nadal's win, a year after his last victory, but
what people were really talking about was a couple. Nothing to do
with the game of "doubles" but in the game of love. Or not.

In the VIP area, Prince Albert of Monaco watched the final
rounds of the tournament, as per tradition. By his
side, as always, his longtime girlfriend (and future wife?)
Charlene Wittstock. They hadn't been seen together in
public since attending the Rose Ball.

And this pause in public appearances added a bit of fire
underneath the already bubbling suspicions regarding the couple's
union. Many royal were convinced, months ago, that Prince
Albert was on the verge of proposing to the South African former
swim champion.

And yet, an engagement has not been announced and people
are beginning to whisper and wonder. Which is why his move
last Sunday in Monte-Carlo was a clever one. Prince Albert is
clearly hoping to silent the whispers and buy a bit more time.
